NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated statements of condition of Camden National Corporation (the "Company") as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Camden National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (which includes the consolidated accounts of Healthcare Professional Funding Corporation ("HPFC") and Property A, Inc.). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Assets held by the Bank in a fiduciary capacity, through Camden National Wealth Management, a division of the Bank, are not assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the consolidated statements of condition. The Company also owns 100% of the common stock of Camden Capital Trust A and Union Bankshares Capital Trust I. These entities are unconsolidated subsidiaries of the Company. Certain reclassifications may have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Any such reclassifications did not impact net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported. Net income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The acronyms, abbreviations and definitions identified below are used throughout this Form 10-Q, including Part I. "Financial Information" and Part II. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company adopted and updated its accounting policies for the following accounting standards that have been applied to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023:

ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method ("ASU 2022-01"). The FASB issued ASU 2022-01 to amend ASU 2017-12, which was adopted by the Company in 2018. This amendment renames the "last-of-layer" method to the "portfolio layer" method, permits non-repayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method, and provides additional guidance for entities that apply the portfolio layer method of hedge accounting in accordance with Topic 815. The Company adopted ASU 2022-01, as amended, effective January 1, 2023 and leveraged the "portfolio layer" method to enter into interest rate swaps to hedge fixed-rate residential mortgages during the six months ended June 30, 2023. There was no impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.

ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02"). The FASB issued ASU 2022-02 to provide new guidance on TDRs and charge-offs for entities that have adopted ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis, and upon adoption there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting and disclosure requirements for TDRs, including the requirement to measure the allowance using a discounted cash flow ("DCF") methodology. Beginning January 1, 2023, the Company no longer establishes a specific reserve for newly modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective segments, and the ACL is calculated utilizing models that consider the borrowers' probability of default, loss given default and exposure at default.

ASU 2022-02 also requires disclosure of modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty if the modification involves principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, or a combination of any of these types of modifications. Additionally, ASU 2022-02 requires the disclosure of current period gross charge-offs by year of loss origination (vintage) which are required to be applied prospectively as of January 1, 2023, the Company's date of adoption. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.

The following provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company:

ASU No. 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method ("ASU 2023-02"). The FASB issued ASU 2023-02 to permit reporting entities to elect to account for tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, the initial cost of the investment is amortized in proportion to the income tax credits or other tax benefits received. ASU 2023-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. While the Company is currently evaluating, it does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no allowance carried on AFS debt securities.

In June of 2022, the Company transferred securities with a fair value of $520.3 million from AFS to HTM. The unrealized losses on the AFS debt securities at the time of transfer were $72.1 million, pre-tax, and were reported within AOCI. These unrealized losses are being amortized over the remaining life of the securities from AOCI into interest income on the consolidated statements of income. At June 30, 2023 the net unrealized losses on the transferred securities reported within AOCI were $49.5 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $13.6 million and at December 31, 2022 were $52.2 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $14.3 million.

The net unrealized losses on AFS debt securities reported within AOCI (excluding the aforementioned securities transferred from AFS to HTM) at June 30, 2023, were $78.3 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $21.4 million and at December 31, 2022 were $79.4 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $21.7 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not sell any AFS debt securities.

The following table presents the Company's AFS debt securities with gross unrealized losses, for which an ACL has not been recorded, segregated by the length of time the securities have been in a continuous loss position, as of the dates indicated:

Total AFS debt securities 335 $ 215,593 $ (16,957) $ 457,955 $ (84,273) $ 673,548 $ (101,230)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the unrealized losses on the Company's AFS debt securities have not been recognized into income because management does not intend to sell and it is not more-likely-than-not it will be required to sell any of the AFS debt securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis. Furthermore, the unrealized losses were due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions and were not reflective of credit events. Agency-backed and government-sponsored enterprise securities have a long history with no credit losses, including during times of severe stress. The principal and interest payments on agency guaranteed debt is backed by the U.S. government. Government-sponsored enterprises similarly guarantee principal and interest payments and carry an implicit guarantee from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Additionally, government-sponsored enterprise securities are exceptionally liquid, readily marketable, and provide a substantial amount of price transparency and price parity, indicating a perception of zero credit losses. AFS municipal debt holdings are comprised solely of high credit quality (rated A- or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. Corporate bonds are primarily comprised of investment grade senior notes and senior subordinated notes of other financial institutions.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on AFS debt securities, was $1.9 million for both periods, and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of the Company's AFS debt securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2023, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-related securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

Total HTM debt securities $ 546,583 $ 763 $ (41,153) $ 506,193

(1) Amortized cost presented above included unamortized unrealized losses from the aforementioned transfer from AFS to HTM securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as follows: (1) $1.1 million in obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises at both dates, (2) $5.9 million and $6.1 million in obligations of state and political subdivisions, (3) $36.5 million and $38.4 million in mortgage-backed securities, (4) $19.5 million and $20.7 million in collateralized mortgage obligations, and (5) $101,000 and $117,000 in corporate bonds, respectively.

Agency-backed and government-sponsored enterprise securities have a long history with no credit losses, including during times of severe stress. The principal and interest payments on agency-guaranteed debt is backed by the U.S. government. Government-sponsored enterprises similarly guarantee principal and interest payments and carry an implicit guarantee from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Additionally, government-sponsored enterprise securities are exceptionally liquid, readily marketable, and provide a substantial amount of price transparency and price parity, indicating a perception of zero credit losses. HTM municipal debt holdings are comprised solely of high credit quality (rated A- or higher) state and municipal obligations. High credit quality state and municipal obligations have a history of zero to near-zero credit loss. Corporate bonds are primarily comprised of investment grade senior notes and senior subordinated notes of other financial institutions. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not record a provision for credit losses on its HTM debt security portfolio. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses on its HTM debt securities portfolio of $1.8 million and $0, respectively. The provision for credit losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was due to the write-off of a corporate bond issued by Signature Bank, which was designated as HTM and previously carried no ACL, resulting from Signature Bank's failure during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off accrued interest receivable of $8,000 due from the Signature Bank corporate bond during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the write-off was recorded as a reversal of interest income on the consolidated statements of income. The Company did not write-off any accrued interest for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company evaluated its HTM debt securities with an amortized cost as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and determined that the expected credit loss on its HTM portfolio was immaterial, and therefore it did not carry an ACL on the HTM portfolio at either date.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, none of the Company's HTM debt securities were past due or on non-accrual status. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not recognize any interest income on non-accrual HTM debt securities. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on HTM debt securities, was $1.7 million for both periods and was reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the HTM debt securities accrued interest receivable at either date.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of HTM debt securities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2023 are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Mortgage-related securities are shown in total, as their maturities are highly variable.

AFS and HTM Debt Securities Pledged

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, AFS and HTM debt securities with an amortized cost of $667.5 million and $821.9 million and estimated fair values of $589.9 million and $726.5 million, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLBB advances, FRB advances (including the BTFP), public deposits, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase and for other purposes required or permitted by law.

Other Investments

The Company evaluates these investments for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value. The Company did not record any impairment on its FHLBB and FRB stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

The following table summarizes the Company's investment in FHLBB stock and FRBB stock as presented within other investments on the consolidated statements of condition, as of the dates indicated:

The Company's lending activities are primarily conducted in Maine, but also include loan production offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Company originates single- and multi-family residential loans, commercial real estate loans, business loans, municipal loans and a variety of consumer loans. In addition, the Company makes loans for the construction of residential homes, multi-family properties and commercial real estate properties. The ability and willingness of borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the level of overall economic activity within the geographic area and the general economy.

SBA PPP Loans. Beginning in April 2020, the Company originated SBA PPP loans issued to qualifying businesses as part of the federal stimulus packages issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This program provided qualifying businesses a specialized, low-interest-rate loan by the U.S. Treasury Department and was administered by the SBA. SBA PPP loans provided borrower guarantees for lenders, as well as loan forgiveness incentives for borrowers that utilized the loan proceeds to cover employee compensation-related business operating costs, as well as certain other costs up to pre-established limits. Effective May 31, 2021, the SBA PPP loan program ended and the Company ceased originating loans under this program. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, four loans with a total principal balance of $469,000 and five loans with a total principal balance of $648,000, respectively, remained outstanding and were presented in commercial loans.

Related Party Loans. In the normal course of business, the Bank makes loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies, under terms that are consistent with the Company's lending policies and regulatory requirements and that do not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, outstanding loans to certain officers, directors and their associated companies were less than 5% of the Company's shareholders' equity.

Loan Sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold $36.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $377,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold $71.1 million and $93.7 million, respectively, of residential mortgage loans on the secondary market, which resulted in gains on the sale of loans (net of costs) of $761,000 and $2.2 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had certain residential mortgage loans with a principal balance of $12.1 million and $5.3 million, respectively, designated as held for sale. The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its loans held for sale, and at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, recorded an unrealized loss of $42,000 and $62,000, respectively on residential mortgage loans held for sale. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized (loss) gain on residential mortgage loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income of $(65,000) and $73,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded an unrealized gain (loss) on residential mortgage loans held for sale recorded within mortgage banking income, net, on the Company's consolidated statements of income of $20,000 and $(69,000), respectively.

The Company has forward delivery commitments with a secondary market investor on each of its residential mortgage loans held for sale at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's forward delivery commitments.

ACL on Loans

The Company manages its loan portfolio proactively to effectively identify problem credits and assess trends early, implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continuously reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through the following governance structure:

•The Credit Risk and Special Assets team and the Credit Risk Policy Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking, oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, and maintain the integrity of the loan rating system.

•The adequacy of the ACL is overseen by the Management Provision Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various Company executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking. The Management Provision Committee supports the oversight efforts of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

•The Directors' Credit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews large credit exposures, monitors external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, and concentration levels.

•The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approval authority and oversight responsibility for the ACL adequacy and methodology.

Segmentation. For purposes of determining the ACL on loans, the Company disaggregates its loans into portfolio segments. Each portfolio segment possesses unique risk characteristics that are considered when determining the appropriate level of allowance. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's loan portfolio segments, as determined based on the unique risk characteristics of each, include the following:

Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner-Occupied. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are, in substance, all commercial real estate loans that are not categorized by the Company as owner-occupied commercial real estate loans. Non-owner-occupied commercial estate loans are investment properties in which the primary source for repayment of the loan by the borrower is derived from rental income associated with the property or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent refinancing of the property. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, multi-family residential, commercial/retail office space, industrial/warehouse space, hotels, assisted living facilities and other specific use properties. Also included within the non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loan segment are construction projects until they are completed. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.

Commercial Real Estate - Owner-Occupied. Generally, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are properties that are owned and operated by the borrower, and the primary source for repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and activities conducted by the borrower's business. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans consist of mortgage loans to finance investments in real property that may include, but are not limited to, commercial/retail office space, restaurants, educational and medical practice facilities and other specific use properties. Commercial real estate loans are typically written with amortizing payment structures. Collateral values are determined based upon appraisals and evaluations in accordance with established policy guidelines. Maximum loan-to-value ratios at origination are governed by established policy and regulatory guidelines.

Commercial. Commercial loans consist of revolving and term loan obligations extended to business and corporate enterprises for the purpose of financing working capital and/or capital investment. Collateral generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate, if applicable. Commercial loans are primarily paid by the operating cash flow of the borrower. Commercial loans may be secured or unsecured.

Residential Real Estate.  Residential real estate loans held in the Company's loan portfolio are made to borrowers who demonstrate the ability to make scheduled payments with full consideration to underwriting factors. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines. Collateral consists of mortgage liens on one- to four-family residences, including for investment purposes.

Home Equity. Home equity loans and lines of credit are made to qualified individuals and are secured by senior or junior mortgage liens on owner-occupied one- to four-family homes, condominiums, or vacation homes. Each home equity loan has a fixed rate and is billed as equal payments comprised of principal and interest. Each home equity line of credit has a variable rate and is billed as interest-only payments during the draw period. At the end of the draw period, the home equity line of credit is billed as a percentage of the principal balance plus all accrued interest. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income requirements and combined loan-to-value ratios within established policy guidelines.

Consumer. Consumer loan products include personal lines of credit and amortizing loans made to qualified individuals for various purposes such as education, auto loans, debt consolidation, personal expenses or overdraft protection. Borrower qualifications include favorable credit history combined with supportive income and collateral requirements within established policy guidelines, as applicable. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured.

The ACL on loans increased $61,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2023, to $37.0 million. The net increase over this period was primarily driven by:

•A $1.5 million increase in the residential real estate ACL on loans primarily due to the forecasted decrease in the Maine House Price Index over the Company's forecast period, as compared to December 31, 2022, and 3% loan growth in this loan portfolio during the period.

•A $1.1 million decrease in the CRE non-owner-occupied ACL on loans primarily due to the forecasted improvement in Maine GDP and Maine unemployment over the Company's forecast period, as compared to December 31, 2022, more than offsetting the 4% loan growth in this loan portfolio during the period.

Credit Concentrations

The Company focuses on maintaining a well-balanced and diversified loan portfolio. Despite such efforts, it is recognized that credit concentrations may occasionally emerge as a result of economic conditions, changes in local demand, natural loan growth and runoff. To identify credit concentrations effectively, all commercial and commercial real estate loans are assigned Standard Industrial Classification codes, North American Industry Classification System codes, and state and county codes. Shifts in portfolio concentrations are monitored. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's total exposure to the lessors of nonresidential buildings' industry and lessors of residential buildings' industry were 13% and 11% of total loans and 32% and 26% of total commercial real estate loans, respectively. There were no other industry exposures exceeding 10% of the Company's total loan portfolio as of June 30, 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators

To further identify loans with similar risk profiles, the Company categorizes each portfolio segment into classes by credit risk characteristic and applies a credit quality indicator to each portfolio segment. The indicators for commercial real estate - non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied, commercial and residential real estate portfolio segments are represented by Grades 1 through 10 as outlined below. In general, risk ratings are adjusted periodically throughout the year as updated analysis and review warrants. This process may include, but is not limited to, annual credit and loan reviews, periodic reviews of loan performance metrics, such as delinquency rates, and quarterly reviews of adversely risk rated loans. The Company uses the following definitions when assessing grades for the purpose of evaluating the risk and adequacy of the ACL on loans:

•Grade 1 through 6 — Grades 1 through 6 represent groups of loans that are not subject to adverse criticism as defined in regulatory guidance. Loans in these groups exhibit characteristics that represent low to moderate risks, which is measured using a variety of credit risk criteria, such as cash flow coverage, debt service coverage, balance sheet leverage, liquidity, management experience, industry position, prevailing economic conditions, support from secondary sources of repayment and other credit factors that may be relevant to a specific loan. In general, these loans are supported by properly margined collateral and guarantees of principal parties.

•Grade 7 — Loans with potential weakness (Special Mention). Loans in this category are currently protected based on collateral and repayment capacity and do not constitute undesirable credit risk, but have potential weakness that may result in deterioration of the repayment process at some future date. This classification is used if a negative trend is evident in the obligor’s financial situation. Special mention loans do not sufficiently expose the Company to warrant adverse classification.

•Grade 8 — Loans with definite weakness (Substandard). Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by collateral pledged. Borrowers experience difficulty in meeting debt repayment requirements. Deterioration is sufficient to cause the Company to look to the sale of collateral.

•Grade 9 — Loans with potential loss (Doubtful). Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in the substandard grade with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the loan in full highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of some loss is extremely high, but because of specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

•Grade 10 — Loans with definite loss (Loss). Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible. The loss classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset because recovery and collection time may be protracted.

The Company periodically reassesses asset quality indicators to reflect appropriately the risk composition of the Company’s loan portfolio. Home equity and consumer loans are not individually risk rated, but rather analyzed as groups taking into account delinquency rates and other economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to meet debt service requirements, including interest rates and energy costs. Performing loans include loans that are current and loans that are past due less than 90 days. Loans that are past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans, including TDRs prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02, are considered non-performing.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by portfolio segment by vintage was as follows as of and for the dates indicated:

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans

The Company closely monitors the performance of its loan portfolio. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when the financial condition of the borrower is deteriorating, payment in full of both principal and interest is not expected as scheduled, or principal or interest has been in default for 90 days or more. Exceptions may be made if the asset is secured by collateral sufficient to satisfy both the principal and accrued interest in full and collection is reasonably assured. When one loan to a borrower is placed on non-accrual status, all other loans to the borrower are re-evaluated to determine if they should also be placed on non-accrual status. All previously accrued and unpaid interest is reversed at this time. A loan will return to accrual status when collection of principal and interest is assured and the borrower has demonstrated timely payments of principal and interest for a reasonable period, generally at least six months. Unsecured loans, however, are not normally placed on non-accrual status because they are generally charged-off once their collectability is in doubt.

The following is a loan aging analysis by portfolio segment (including loans past due over 90 days and non-accrual loans) and loans past due over 90 days and accruing as of the following dates:

Collateral-dependent loans are loans for which repayment is expected to be provided substantially by the underlying collateral and there are no other available and reliable sources of repayment.

Interest income that would have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms is estimated to have been $24,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the interest income that is estimated to have been recognized if loans on non-accrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was $50,000 and $85,000, respectively.

The Company's policy is to reverse previously recorded interest income when a loan is placed on non-accrual. As a result, the Company did not record any interest income on its non-accruals for the three or six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total accrued interest receivable on loans, which has been excluded from reported amortized cost basis on loans, was $10.8 million and $10.3 million, respectively, and reported within other assets on the consolidated statements of condition. An allowance was not carried on the accrued interest receivable at either date.

Loan Modifications for Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted prospectively ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures ("ASU 2022-02"). ASU 2022-02 provided guidance that eliminated the recognition and measurement of TDRs. Following the adoption of this guidance, the Company evaluates all loan modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty according to the accounting guidance for loan refinancing and restructuring to determine whether such loan modification should be accounted for as a new loan or a continuation of the existing loan. Our loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are generally accounted for as a continuation of the existing loan.

We offer several types of loans and receivables modification programs to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, primarily interest rate reductions and term extensions. In such instances, we may modify loans and receivables with the intention to minimize future losses and improve collectability, while providing customers with temporary or permanent financial relief. There were no modified loans that required disclosure for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Troubled Debt Restructuring Disclosures Prior to Adoption of ASU 2022-02

Prior to the Company's adoption of ASU 2022-02, which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, TDRs consisted of loans where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, granted a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. TDRs typically involved term modifications or a reduction of either interest or principal. Once such an obligation has been restructured, it will remain a TDR until paid in full, or until the loan is again restructured at current market rates and no concessions are granted.

The specific reserve allowance was determined by discounting the total expected future cash flows from the borrower at the original loan interest rate, or if the loan is currently collateral-dependent, using net realizable value, which was obtained through independent appraisals and internal evaluations. The following is a summary of TDRs prior to adoption of ASU 2022-02, by portfolio segment, and the associated specific reserve included within the ACL as of December 31, 2022:

At December 31, 2022, the Company had performing and non-performing TDRs with a recorded investment balance of $2.1 million and $452,000, respectively.

The following represents loan modifications that qualified as TDRs during the year ended December 31, 2022:

For the year ended December 31, 2022, no loans were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months for which the borrower subsequently defaulted.

In-Process Foreclosure Proceedings

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $378,000 and $481,000, respectively, of consumer mortgage loans secured by residential real estate properties for which foreclosure proceedings were in process.

FHLB Advances

FHLB advances are those borrowings from the FHLBB greater than 90 days. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket lien on qualified collateral consisting primarily of loans with first mortgages secured by one- to four-family properties, certain commercial real estate loans, certain pledged investment securities and other qualified assets. The carrying value of residential real estate and commercial loans pledged as collateral was $1.9 billion at June 30, 2023 and $1.8 billion December 31, 2022, respectively.

Refer to Notes 3 and 6 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of securities pledged as collateral.

The Company has two tranches of junior subordinated debentures in the amount of $44.3 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for further details.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company borrowed $135.0 million from the BTFP for a period of one year at a fixed rate of 4.70%. Under the program, the Company may prepay this borrowing at any time without penalty and the borrowing is secured by the Company's MBS and CMO securities at par.

NOTE 6 – REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Company can raise additional liquidity by entering into repurchase agreements at its discretion. In a security repurchase agreement transaction, the Company will generally sell a security, agreeing to repurchase either the same or a substantially identical security on a specified later date, at a greater price than the original sales price. The difference between the sale price and purchase price is the cost of the proceeds, which is recorded within interest on borrowings on the consolidated statements of income. The securities underlying the agreements are delivered to counterparties as collateral for the repurchase obligations. Because the securities are treated as collateral and the agreement does not qualify for a full transfer of effective control, the transactions do not meet the criteria to be classified as sales, and are therefore considered secured borrowing transactions for accounting purposes. Payments on such borrowings are interest only until the scheduled repurchase date. In a repurchase agreement the Company is subject to the risk that the purchaser may default at maturity and not return the securities underlying the agreements. In order to minimize this potential risk, the Company either deals with established firms when entering into these transactions, or with customers whose agreements stipulate that the securities underlying the agreement are not delivered to the customer and instead are held in segregated safekeeping accounts by the Company's safekeeping agents.

The table below sets forth information regarding the Company’s repurchase agreements accounted for as secured borrowings and types of collateral as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments involving, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in addition to the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of condition.

The following is a summary of the Company's contractual off-balance sheet commitments as of the dates indicated:

(In thousands) June 30,<br>2023 December 31,<br>2022
Commitments to extend credit $ 776,288 $ 817,772
Standby letters of credit 6,268 6,801
Total $ 782,556 $ 824,573

The Company’s commitments to extend credit from its lending activities do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain of these instruments may expire without being funded and others may not be fully drawn upon. These commitments are subject to the Company’s credit approval process, including an evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a borrower to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the borrower, the Company would be required to fund the commitment and would be entitled to the underlying collateral, if applicable, which generally consists of pledges of business assets including, but not limited to, accounts receivable, inventory, plant and equipment, and/or real estate. The maximum potential future payments are limited to the contractual amount of the commitment.

The Company establishes an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures on its contractual off-balance sheet commitments, except those that are unconditionally cancellable by the Company. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposure was presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the credit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was ($202,000) and ($166,000), respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the credit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures was ($477,000) and ($5,000), respectively.

Legal Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened litigation, claims investigations and legal and administrative cases and proceedings. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that, based on the information currently available, the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reserves are established for legal claims only when losses associated with the claims are judged to be probable, and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Assessments of litigation exposure are difficult because they involve inherently unpredictable factors including, but not limited to: whether the proceeding is in the early stages; whether damages are unspecified, unsupported, or uncertain; whether there is a potential for punitive or other pecuniary damages; whether the matter involves legal uncertainties, including novel issues of law; whether the matter involves multiple parties and/or jurisdictions; whether discovery has begun or is not complete; whether meaningful settlement discussions have commenced; and whether the lawsuit involves class allegations. In many lawsuits and arbitrations, it is not possible to determine whether a liability has been incurred or to estimate the ultimate or minimum amount of that liability until the case is close to resolution, in which case a reserve will not be recognized until that time. Assessments of class action litigation, which is generally more complex than other types of litigation, are particularly difficult, especially in the early stages of the proceeding when it is not known whether a class will be

certified or how a potential class, if certified, will be defined. As a result, the Company may be unable to estimate reasonably possible losses with respect to every litigation matter it faces.

The Company did not have any material loss contingencies that were provided for and/or that are required to be disclosed as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s credit derivatives result from loan participation arrangements, and therefore are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments - Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

Interest Rate Contracts - Cash Flow Hedges. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest income and expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments or the receipt of fixed rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate assets or liabilities or forecasted issuances of debt.

For derivatives designated, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in AOCI and subsequently is reclassified into interest expense or interest income in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense or interest income as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable-rate liabilities or assets. The Company estimates that an additional $3.2 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense and an additional $3.4 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest income over the next 12 months.

Interest Rate Contracts - Fair Value Hedges. Derivatives designated as fair value hedges are utilized to mitigate the risk of changes in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate contracts in this manner to manage its exposure to changes in the fair value of hedged items caused by changes in interest rates.

Changes in the fair value of the derivatives and changes in the fair value of the hedged item due to changes in the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the same line item. If a hedge is terminated, but the hedged item was not derecognized, all remaining adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item are amortized over a period that is consistent with the amortization of other discounts or premiums associated with the hedged item.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedges

Customer Loan Swaps. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting derivatives that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.

As the interest rate derivatives associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer derivatives and the offsetting derivatives are recognized directly in earnings.

Fixed Rate Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Commitments. As part of the origination process of a residential loan, the Company may enter into rate lock agreements with its borrower, which is considered an interest rate lock commitment. If the Company intends to sell the loan upon origination, it will account for the interest rate lock commitment as a derivative.

Forward Delivery Commitments. The Company typically enters into a forward delivery commitment with a secondary market investor, which has been approved by the Company within its normal governance process, at the onset of the loan origination process. The Company may enter into these arrangements with the secondary market investors on a "best effort" or "mandatory delivery" basis. The Company's normal practice is typically to enter into these arrangements on a "best effort" basis. The Company enters into these arrangements with the secondary market investors to manage its interest rate exposure. The Company accounts for the forward delivery commitment as a derivative upon origination of a loan identified as held for sale.

Risk Participation Agreements. The Company’s existing credit derivatives result from participations in or out of interest rate swaps provided by or to external lenders as part of loan participation arrangements, therefore, are not used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s assets or liabilities. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to certain lenders which participate in loans.

The following table presents the fair value of the Company's derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the consolidated statements of condition as of the dates indicated:

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

By using derivatives, the Company is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty. The Company seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. As such, management believes the risk of incurring credit losses on derivative contracts with institutional counterparties is remote.

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. In addition, the Company also has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well- capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative position(s) and the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $15.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted cash collateral of $0 and $0, respectively. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $15.4 million and $14.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 9 – BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

The Company does not offset the carrying value for derivative instruments or repurchase agreements on the consolidated statements of condition. The Company nets the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. Collateral legally required to be pledged or received is monitored and adjusted as necessary. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion of repurchase agreements and Note 8 for further discussion of derivative instruments.

The following table presents the Company's derivative positions and repurchase agreements, and the potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position, as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FRB and the OCC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company and Bank are required to maintain certain levels of capital based on risk-adjusted assets. These capital requirements represent quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank's capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by our regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital, Tier 1 capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, or the leverage ratio. These requirements apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

Under the current requirements, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a

minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier 1 equity in an amount above the minimum risk-based capital requirements for "adequately capitalized" institutions equal to 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets, resulting in a requirement for the Company and the Bank effectively to maintain common equity Tier 1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively. The Company and the Bank must maintain the capital conservation buffer to avoid restrictions on the ability to pay dividends, pay discretionary bonuses and to engage in share repurchases based on the amount of the shortfall and the institution's "eligible retained income" (that is, the greater of (i) net income for the preceding four quarters, net of distributions and associated tax effects not reflected in net income and (ii) average net income over the preceding four quarters).

The Company and Bank's risk-based capital ratios exceeded regulatory requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and the Bank's capital ratios met the requirements for it to be considered "well capitalized" under prompt corrective action provisions for each period. There were no changes to the Company or Bank's capital ratios that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2023 that would change the Company or Bank's regulatory capital categorization. The following table presents the Company and Bank's regulatory capital ratios at the periods indicated:

June 30,<br>2023 Minimum Regulatory Capital Required for Capital Adequacy plus Capital Conservation Buffer Minimum Regulatory Provision to Be "Well Capitalized" December 31,<br>2022 Minimum Regulatory Capital Required for Capital Adequacy plus Capital Conservation Buffer Minimum Regulatory Provision to Be "Well Capitalized"

(1)    “Minimum Regulatory Provisions to Be ‘Well Capitalized’” are not formally defined under applicable banking regulations for bank holding companies.

In 2006 and 2008, the Company issued $43.0 million of junior subordinated debentures in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities. Although the junior subordinated debentures are recorded as liabilities on the Company's consolidated statements of condition, the Company is permitted, in accordance with applicable regulation, to include the debentures within its calculation of risk-based capital, subject to certain limits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $43.0 million of the junior subordinated debentures were included in Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital for the Company.

The Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets fluctuate due to normal business, including profits and losses generated by the Company and Bank as well as changes to their asset mix. Of particular significance are changes within the Company and Bank's loan portfolio mix due to the differences in regulatory risk-weighting between retail and commercial loans. Furthermore, the Company and Bank's regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets are subject to change due to changes in GAAP and regulatory capital standards. The Company and Bank proactively monitor their regulatory capital and risk-weighted assets, and the impact of changes to their asset mix, and the impact of proposed and pending changes as a result of new and/or amended GAAP standards and regulatory changes.

NOTE 12 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

A portion of the Company's non-interest income is derived from contracts with customers, and, as such, the revenue recognized depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company considers the terms of the contract and all relevant facts and circumstances when applying this guidance.

The Company has disaggregated its revenue from contracts with customers into categories based on the nature of the revenue. The categorization of revenues from contracts with customers that are within the scope of ASC 606 closely aligns with the presentation of revenue categories presented within non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income. The following table presents the revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606 for the periods indicated:

NOTE 14 – EPS

The following is an analysis of basic and diluted EPS, reflecting the application of the two-class method, as described below:

Basic EPS $ 0.85 $ 1.02 $ 1.72 $ 2.16
Diluted EPS $ 0.85 $ 1.02 $ 1.72 $ 2.15
Awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS(3):
Performance-based awards 9,111 305 10,705 76

(1)    Represents dividends paid and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested stock-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.

(2)    Represents the assumed dilutive effect of unexercised and/or unvested stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and contingently issuable performance-based awards utilizing the treasury stock method.

(3)    Represents stock-based awards not included in the computation of potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS as the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock, and, therefore, are considered anti-dilutive.

Non-vested stock-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Certain of the Company’s non-vested stock-based awards qualify as participating securities.

Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating non-vested stock-based awards. Diluted EPS is computed in a similar manner, except that the denominator includes the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares were issued using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 15 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined using quoted market prices. However, in many instances, quoted market prices are not available. In such instances, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques. Various assumptions and observable inputs must be relied upon in applying these techniques. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and other items at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. Electing the fair value option for loans held for sale enables the Company’s financial position to align more clearly with the economic value of the actively traded asset.

The fair value hierarchy for valuation of an asset or liability is as follows:

Level 1:   Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2:   Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, from quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3:   Valuation is derived from model-based and other techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and which may be based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon model-based techniques incorporating various assumptions including interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit losses. Assets and liabilities valued using model-based techniques are classified as either Level 2 or Level 3, depending on the lowest level classification of an input that is considered significant to the overall valuation. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Trading Securities and Deferred Compensation: The fair value of trading securities and deferred compensation is reported using market quoted prices and has been classified as Level 1 as such securities and underlying securities are actively traded and no valuation adjustments have been applied.

Debt Securities:  The fair value of investments in debt securities is reported utilizing prices provided by an independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, market interest rate curves, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the bond’s terms and conditions. The fair value of debt securities is classified as Level 2.

Loans Held For Sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is determined on an individual loan basis using quoted secondary market prices and is classified as Level 2.

Derivatives:  The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using inputs that are observable in the market place obtained from third parties including yield curves, publicly available volatilities, and floating indexes and, accordingly, are classified as Level 2 inputs. The credit value adjustments associated with derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the credit valuation adjustment on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and was not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives, and, thus, the Company's interest rate swaps were classified as Level 2.

The fair value of the Company's fixed rate interest rate lock commitments were determined using secondary market pricing for loans with similar structures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, adjusted for the Company's pull-through rate estimate (i.e. estimate of loans within its loan pipeline that will ultimately complete the origination process and be funded). The Company has classified its fixed rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2, as the quoted secondary market prices are the more significant input, and, although the Company's internal pull-through rate estimate is a Level 3 estimate, it is less significant to the ultimate valuation.

The fair value of the Company's forward delivery commitments is determined using secondary market pricing for loans with similar structures, including term, rate and borrower credit quality, and the locked and agreed to price with the secondary market investor. The Company has classified its fixed rate interest rate lock commitments as Level 2.

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, for the dates indicated:

(In thousands) Fair<br>Value Readily<br>Available<br>Market<br>Prices<br>(Level 1) Observable<br>Market<br>Data<br>(Level 2) Company<br>Determined<br>Fair Value<br>(Level 3)

The Company did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfer between levels.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP, which may consist of collateral-dependent loans and servicing assets. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any material financial instruments measured and reported at fair value.

Collateral-Dependent Loans:  Expected credit losses on individually assessed loans deemed to be collateral dependent are valued based upon the lower of amortized cost or fair value of the underlying collateral less costs to sell. Management estimates the fair values of these assets using Level 2 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party market approach appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, and Level 3 inputs where circumstances warrant an adjustment to the appraised value based on the age of the appraisal and/or comparable sales, condition of the collateral, and market conditions.

Servicing Assets:  The Company accounts for mortgage servicing assets at cost, subject to impairment testing. When the carrying value of a tranche exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying cost to fair value. Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated net servicing income. The Company obtains a third-party valuation based upon loan level data including note rate, type and term of the underlying loans. The model utilizes two significant unobservable inputs, namely loan prepayment assumptions and the discount rate used, to calculate the fair value of each tranche, and, as such, the Company has classified the model within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company had no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis consist of OREO, goodwill and core deposit intangible assets.

OREO: OREO properties acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at net realizable value, which is the fair value of the real estate, less estimated costs to sell. Any write-down of the recorded investment in the related loan is charged to the ACL upon transfer to OREO. Upon acquisition of a property, a current appraisal is used or an internal valuation is prepared to substantiate fair value of the property. After foreclosure, management periodically, but at least annually, obtains updated valuations of the OREO properties and, if additional impairments are deemed necessary, the subsequent write-downs for declines in value are recorded through a valuation allowance and a provision for credit losses charged to other non-interest expense within the consolidated statements of income. As management considers appropriate, adjustments are made to the appraisal obtained for the OREO property to account for recent sales activity of comparable properties, changes in the condition of the property, and changes in market conditions. These adjustments are not observable in an active market and are classified as Level 3. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any OREO properties.

Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The fair value of goodwill is estimated by utilizing several standard valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses, bank merger multiples, and/or an estimation of the impact of business conditions and investor activities on the long-term value of the goodwill. Should an impairment occur, the associated goodwill is written-down to fair value and the impairment charge is recorded within non-interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. The Company conducts an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter each year, or more frequently as necessary. There have been no indications or triggering events during the six months ended June 30, 2023, for which management believes it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired.

Core Deposit Intangible Assets: The Company's core deposit intangible assets represent the estimated value of acquired customer relationships and are amortized over the estimated life of those relationships. Core deposit intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. There were no events or changes in circumstances for the six months ended June 30, 2023, that indicated the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The estimated fair values and related carrying amounts for assets and liabilities for which fair value is only disclosed are shown below as of the dates indicated:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP

In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with GAAP, management supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, return on average tangible equity; the efficiency ratio; net interest income (fully-taxable equivalent); earnings before income taxes and provision; earnings before income taxes, provision, and SBA PPP loan income; adjusted yield on interest-earning assets and adjusted net interest margin (fully-taxable equivalent); tangible book value per share; tangible common equity ratio; and core deposits and average core deposits. We utilize these non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of measuring performance against the Company's peer group and other financial institutions, as well as for analyzing its internal performance. The Company also believes these non-GAAP financial measures help investors better understand the Company's operating performance and trends and allows for better performance comparisons to other banks. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures remove the impact of unusual items that may obscure trends in the Company’s underlying performance. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP operating results, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other financial institutions.

Return on Average Tangible Equity. Return on average tangible equity is the ratio of (i) net income, adjusted for (a) tax effected amortization of core deposit intangible assets and (b) goodwill impairment, as necessary, to (ii) average shareholders' equity, adjusted for average goodwill and core deposit intangible assets. This adjusted financial ratio reflects a shareholder's return on tangible capital deployed in our business and is a common measure within the financial services industry.

Net Interest Income (Fully-Taxable Equivalent). Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis is net interest income plus the taxes that would have been paid had tax-exempt securities been taxable. This number attempts to enhance the comparability of the performance of assets that have different tax liabilities. This is a common measure within the financial services industry and is used within the calculation of net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis.

Earnings before Income Taxes and Provision, and Earnings before Income Taxes, Provision and SBA PPP Loan Income. Earnings before income taxes and provision, and earnings before income taxes, provision and SBA PPP loan income are each a supplemental measure of operating earnings and performance. Earnings before income taxes and provision is calculated as net income before provision for credit losses and income tax expense, and earnings before income taxes, provision and SBA PPP loan income is calculated as net income before provision for credit losses, income tax expense and SBA PPP loan income. These supplemental measures have become more widely used by financial institutions as a measure of financial performance for comparability across financial institutions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision for credit losses, as well as the origination of SBA PPP loans in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that are not a recurring and sustainable source of revenues for financial institutions.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses reported. Actual results could differ materially from our current estimates as a result of changing conditions and future events. Several estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including (i) the ACL, including the ACL on loans, off-balance sheet credit exposures and investments; (ii) accounting for acquisitions and the subsequent review of goodwill and intangible assets generated in an acquisition for impairment; (iii) income taxes; and (iv) accounting for defined benefit and postretirement plans.

There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting policies from those disclosed within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies.

Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion of accounting pronouncements issued but yet to be adopted and implemented.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Camden National Corporation (hereafter referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is a publicly-held bank holding company, with approximately $5.8 billion in assets at June 30, 2023, incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine and headquartered in Camden, Maine. Camden National Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was founded in 1875. The Company was founded in 1984, went public in 1997 and is registered with NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol "CAC."

The primary business of the Company and the Bank is to attract deposits from, and to extend loans to, consumer, institutional, municipal, non-profit and commercial customers. The Company, through the Bank, provides a broad array of banking and other financial services, including wealth management and trust services, brokerage, investment advisory and insurance services, to consumer, business, non-profit and municipal customers.

The Company operates throughout Maine, with its primary markets and presence being throughout coastal and central Maine, and select areas of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The Company and the Bank generally have effectively competed with other financial institutions by emphasizing customer service, highlighted by local decision-making, establishing long-term customer relationships, building customer loyalty and providing products and services designed to meet the needs of customers.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Throughout the first half of 2023, the interest rate environment remained volatile, highlighted by the 10-year U.S Treasury ranging from 3.29% to 4.07%, and averaging 3.62% for the first six months of 2023. The yield curve continues to be inverted, and for the first six months of 2023, the average 3-month U.S. Treasury was 161 basis points higher than the average 10-year U.S. Treasury. The volatility in interest rates and the prolonged inverted yield curve continue to be the result of rising interest rates in response to inflationary pressures in the U.S., but were amplified further by the failing of three regional banks in the first six months of 2023. As a result of the continued turbulence in the banking industry in 2023, the focus across much of the industry quickly transitioned from earnings to financial position. In response to the market dynamics, including the interest rate environment, our short-term priorities have shifted to deposit and net interest margin optimization, and to maintaining our strong credit quality position as of June 30, 2023.

The Company's financial footing is strong and is supported by a diverse deposit base, a strong liquidity position, excellent asset quality and regulatory capital that is well in excess of all required levels. The following metrics highlight the Company's financial strength as of June 30, 2023:

•Uninsured and uncollateralized1 deposits were 15% of total deposits, compared to 16% as of December 31, 2022, which speaks to the diversification of our depositor base.

1 Uncollateralized deposits are customer deposit balances for which the Company has not pledged any of its assets, including investment securities, or provided any other type of guarantee.

•Primary liquidity sources, which consists of cash, investment securities and FHLBB and FRB borrowing capacity, totaled $1.4 billion, which was approximately 2.0 times total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.

•Annualized net charge-offs for the first half of 2023 were 0.03%, compared to 0.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

•Non-performing assets were 0.09% of total assets and past due loans were 0.05% of total loans, compared to 0.09% and 0.06%, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

•Common equity ratio was 8.14% and tangible common equity ratio (non-GAAP) was 6.58%, compared to 7.96% and 6.37%, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

•Common Equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.92%, which exceeded the minimum regulatory capital required for capital adequacy plus the capital conservation buffer by 4.92%.

Like many others across the banking industry, the Company's earnings have been greatly affected by the inverted yield curve, as deposit and other funding costs have risen at a faster pace than our assets have repriced, which in turn resulted in the continued compression of our net interest margin through the first half of 2023. Our net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 2.47%, compared to 2.85% for the same period of 2022, and for the second quarter of 2023 was 2.40%, compared to 2.54% for the first quarter of 2023 and 2.84% for the second quarter of 2022. We continue to take actions to manage the net interest margin closely, including, but not limited to, disciplined loan and deposit pricing, redeployment of investment cash flows to fund incremental loan growth, as well as the utilization of interest rate swaps, longer term borrowings at lower rates, and brokered and retail CDs to reduce our exposure to rising short-term interest rates. The results of these actions can be seen in our interest rate risk position as of June 30, 2023, which is detailed in our interest rate risk modeling within "—Risk Management—Interest Rate Risk," as the Company's net interest income at risk over a 12-month period improved in an up 200 basis points scenario (based on our model as described).

The Company's investment portfolio continues to be a primary source of liquidity through investment cash flows, as well as the ability to pledge securities as collateral for funding. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of the Company's bond portfolio was $1.2 billion and was in a net unrealized loss position of $140.1 million. We did not purchase any investments during the first six months of 2023, as we used investment cash flows to fund incremental loan growth. The investment portfolio continues to be primarily made up of agency-backed MBS and CMO, but also contains corporate bonds and municipal securities as further described within "—Financial Condition—Investments." As of June 30, 2023, the corporate bond portfolio was comprised of 20 different companies, of which 18 were differing banks. The banks in the portfolio range from the largest U.S. banks to community banks, with the largest exposure being to a global systemically important bank, or “G-SIB”, with a book value of $6.7 million as of June 30, 2023.The weighted-average life and duration of our bond portfolio as of June 30, 2023, was 7.8 years and 5.7 years, respectively, compared to 7.8 years and 5.8 years, respectively, as of December 31, 2022.

Discussed below is further information on the Company's financial performance for the second quarter of 2023 and its current financial position.

Operating Results. Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $12.4 million, a decrease of $2.6 million or 18%, compared to the second quarter of 2022, and diluted EPS decreased $0.17, or 17%, to $0.85 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Earnings before income taxes, provision expense and SBA PPP loan income (non-GAAP) for the second quarter of 2023 were $15.7 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 25%, between periods.

The key drivers of the decrease in net income between the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included:

•A decrease in net interest income of $3.8 million, or 11%, driven by a decrease in net interest margin between periods of 44 basis points, which more than offset the increase in average interest-earnings assets between periods of 6%.

•A decrease in non-interest income of $1.0 million driven by the decrease in mortgage banking of $927,000. This decrease was driven by the change in the markets between periods, highlighted by the change in interest rates. Additionally, the Company's residential mortgage production volumes through the first six months of 2023 decreased 56% when compared to the same period in 2022.

•The decrease in net income was partially offset by the decrease in provision for credit losses of $2.2 million between periods. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company started to increase the overall reserves in anticipation of a softening economy that drove a significant increase through the quarterly provision. The Company has continued to incorporate these forecasted economic factors to address the potential risk of an economic slowdown that has not yet occurred, which has allowed the ACL to remain relatively stable.

Net income for the six months of 2023 was $25.1 million, a decrease of $6.7 million or 21%, compared to the first six months of 2022, and diluted EPS decreased $0.43, or 20%, to $1.72 for the first half of 2023 compared to the same period last year. Earnings before income taxes, provision expense and SBA PPP loan income (non-GAAP) for the first six months of 2023 were $33.6 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 16%, between periods.

The key drivers of the decrease in net income between the first six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included:

•A decrease in net interest income of $5.9 million, or 8%, driven by a decrease in net interest margin between periods of 38 basis points, which more than offset the increase in average interest-earnings assets between periods of 6%.

•An increase in provision for credit losses of $835,000 between periods. For the first six months of 2023, the Company recorded a provision of $2.1 million that was primarily driven by the full charge-off of a $1.8 million bond issued by Signature Bank due to Signature Bank's failure in March 2023. For the first six months of 2022, the Company recorded provision expense of $1.3 million driven by the increase in anticipation of an economic slowdown, offset by a release of ACL on a portion of loans that the Company established in 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Asset Quality. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's credit quality metrics were strong with non-performing loans totaling 0.13% of total loans. We continue to monitor the Company's loan portfolio closely for any leading indicators of potential stress.

As previously noted, in the first quarter of 2023, we fully wrote-off a $1.8 million investment in a bond issued by Signature Bank. Our corporate and municipal bond portfolio continues to be of high credit quality. In the second quarter of 2023 we re-evaluated these portfolios and do not see any further credit risk at this time. As of June 30, 2023, there was no allowance or impairment recorded on the Company's investment portfolios.

Shareholders' Equity. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's regulatory capital ratios were each well in excess of regulatory capital requirements.

The Company announced a cash dividend of $0.42 per share, payable on July 31, 2023, to shareholders of record on July 14, 2023, representing an annualized dividend yield of 5.42%, based on the Company's closing share price of $30.97, as reported by NASDAQ on June 30, 2023.

In January 2023, we announced a new share repurchase program was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors for up to 750,000 shares, or approximately 5% of total shares outstanding as of December 31, 2022, and the termination of our share repurchase program that was opened in 2022. The Company repurchased 65,692 shares of its outstanding common stock through the first six months of 2023 at a weighted-average price of $30.44 per share, all of which were repurchased in the second quarter of 2023.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income is the interest earned on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets, adjusted for net loan fees, origination costs, and accretion or amortization of fair value marks on loans and/or CDs created in purchase accounting, less the interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is our largest source of revenue ("revenue" is defined as the sum of net interest income and non-interest income). For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, net interest income was 76% of total revenues, compared to 77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income was 77% of total revenues, compared to 78% for the same period of 2022. Net interest income is affected by several factors including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies and competitive conditions, the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets.

Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis (non-GAAP) as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin. Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was $32.9 million, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 11%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The decrease consisted of a $19.9 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis of $16.0 million, or 40%, between periods. The sharp increase in interest expense and interest income between periods reflects the significant change in the interest rate environment between periods.

•The increase in interest expense between periods was primarily the result of a 127 basis points increase in our average cost of funds. The Federal Funds Target Rate range at June 30, 2023 was 5.00% - 5.25%, compared to 1.50% - 1.75% at June 30, 2022. From the start of the rising interest rate cycle (December 31, 2021), the Company has actively managed its funding costs and, in doing so, has held its total funding beta2 to 32% through June 30, 2023; however, the pace in which funding costs have risen has increased through the first six months of 2023 as the Federal Funds Interest Rate rose another 75 basis points. As a result, our total funding beta for the second quarter of 2023 was 74%, compared to 12% for the second quarter of 2022, and our total funding beta for the first half of 2023 was 62%, compared to 11% for the same period of 2022.

The Company’s average funding costs grew to 1.81% for second quarter of 2023, compared to 0.29% for the second quarter of 2022 as deposits costs increased 127 basis points over this period to 1.48% for the second quarter of 2023 and borrowing costs increased 280 basis points over this period to 3.77% for the second quarter of 2023. As short-term interest rates continued to rise, depositors have become more interest rate sensitive and deposit balances have shifted from lower cost deposits, such as non-interest checking and savings, to higher cost deposits, such as CDs and interest checking accounts.

•The increase in interest income between periods was driven by both interest-earning assets yield expansion and average interest-earning asset growth of $288.6 million, or 6%. Between periods, our yield on interest-earning assets grew 101 basis points to 4.12% for the second quarter of 2023, driven by loan yield expansion of 109 basis points to 4.73% for the second quarter of 2023 and investment yield expansion of 30 basis points to 2.21% for the second quarter of 2023. This increased yield reflects the increase in interest rates between periods.

Furthermore, in the first half of 2023, the Company executed five pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps, totaling $375.0 million of notional value on a designated pool of fixed rate residential real estate loans. The derivative transaction was designated as a “fair value hedge” under ASC 815, and was completed to reduce its near-term interest rate risk exposure to rising interest rates. For the second quarter of 2023, these interest rate swaps generated $1.2 million of interest income.

Our net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 2.40% and 2.84%, respectively.

2 The total funding beta measures the change in total funding costs for the Company as compared to the change in the average Federal Funds Rate over the same period.

In the first six months of 2023 the Company had net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis of $67.0 million, a decrease of $5.9 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease consisted of a $35.8 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent basis of $29.9 million, or 38%, between periods. The sharp increase in interest expense and interest income between periods reflects the significant change in the interest rate environment between periods.

•The increase in interest expense between periods was primarily driven by a 138 basis points increase in our average cost of funds to 1.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Average deposit costs increased 117 basis points between periods to 1.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

•The increase in interest income between periods was driven by both interest-earning assets yield expansion of 93 basis points to 4.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and average interest-earning asset growth of $300.1 million, or 6%. Between periods, our average loan yield expanded 94 basis points to 4.61% for six months ended June 30, 2023. For the first six months of 2023, our investment yield expanded to 2.20%, an increase of 33 basis points over the same period in 2022. This increased yield reflects the increase in interest rates between periods.

Furthermore, the five pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps entered into in 2023, for a total $375.0 million of notional value on a designated pool of fixed rate residential real estate loans, generated $1.7 million of interest income.

Our net interest margin on a fully-taxable equivalent basis for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 2.47% and 2.85%, respectively.

All values are in US Dollars.

Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, were driven by our forecasted macroeconomic outlook, including the ongoing risk of a potential downturn over the next 12 to 24 months and loan growth of 1% for the second quarter of 2023 and 3% for the first half of 2023. Partially offsetting the need for provisions was continued strong asset quality across the Company’s loan portfolios. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, annualized net charge-offs were 0.04% and 0.03% of average loans, respectively; non-performing assets were 0.09% of total assets as of June 30, 2023; and loans 30-89 days past due were 0.05% of total loans as of June 30, 2023.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for loan losses reflected loan growth of 5% and 9%, respectively, as well as accounted for the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment at that time. Partially offsetting the need for higher provisions was the release of allowances recorded for certain loans at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic totaling $2.4 million and $4.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Credit for credit losses on off-balance credit exposures. At June 30, 2023, the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was $2.8 million, as compared to $3.2 million as of June 30, 2022. The decrease in provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022 were driven by the decrease in unfunded commitments and credit lines during each period.

Provision for HTM debt securities. In the first quarter of 2023 the Company fully wrote-off of one Signature Bank corporate bond as Signature Bank failed. There were no necessary provisions recorded in the second quarter of 2023 or in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

(1)    Mortgage banking income, net: The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, was driven by the change in the housing market between periods, highlighted by the shift in the interest rate

environment between periods that drove the decrease in mortgage production of 56% compared to the second quarter of 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold $36.0 million, or 41%, of its residential mortgage loan production compared to $47.0 million, or 19%, of its residential mortgage loan production for the second quarter of 2022. As of June 30 2023, the Company's residential mortgage loan pipeline stood at $62.7 million, compared to the $98.6 million at June 30 2022, a decrease of 36%.

The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period of 2022, was due to the decrease in residential mortgage loan sales, compared to June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company sold $71.1 million, or 40%, of its residential mortgages, compared to $93.7 million, or 21%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease in residential mortgage production through the first six months of 2023, compared to the same period last year, (for the reasons outlined above) aligns with the decrease in residential mortgage activity across the industry.

(2)    Other income: The increase in other income for the first six months of 2023, compared to the same period last year, was driven by an increase in customer loan swap fees of $299,000.

Non-Interest Expense

All values are in US Dollars.

(1)    Salaries and employee benefits: The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily driven by lower incentive accruals.

(2)    Debit card expense: The increase for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, reflects inflationary costs driving a higher costs per transaction to process and support.

(3)    Regulatory assessments: The increase for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, was driven by the increase in FDIC assessments rates, effective January 1, 2023.

(4)    Other expenses: The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was driven by: (i) an increase in external hiring costs of $278,000 as the Company's Board of Directors engaged a national-recognized recruiting firm to support its efforts in identifying the successor for both the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Risk Officer roles, (ii) higher marketing costs of $208,000, in part, to support our deposit acquisition strategy, and (iii) a change in the credit valuation adjustment on the Company's back-to-back loan swaps of $128,000.

On May 11, 2023, the FDIC released a proposed rule that would impose special assessments to recover the losses to the deposit insurance fund resulting from the FDIC’s use of the systemic risk exception to the least-cost resolution test under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act in connection with the recent failures by other banking institutions. Under the proposed rule, the first $5 billion of estimated uninsured deposits would be excluded from the assessment base for the special assessments. As a result, the Bank would not be subject to the special assessment if the rule is implemented as proposed. The effect of the proposed rule on the Company and the Bank, if any, will depend on the final form of the FDIC’s rulemaking.

The Company utilizes the investment portfolio to manage liquidity, interest rate risk, and regulatory capital, as well as to take advantage of market conditions to generate returns without undue risk. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s investment portfolio consisted of MBS, CMO, municipal and corporate debt securities, FHLBB and FRB common stock, and mutual funds held in a rabbi trust for its executive and director nonqualified retirement plans. We designate our debt securities as AFS or HTM based on our intent and investment strategy and they are carried at fair value or amortized cost, respectively. Our FHLBB and FRB common stock is carried at cost, and our mutual funds are designated as trading securities and are carried at fair value.

In the second quarter of 2022, we transferred securities from AFS to HTM to help manage our capital position in a rising interest rate environment. The securities were reclassified at fair value at the time of the transfer, which was a non-cash transaction. At June 30, 2023, the net unrealized losses on the transferred securities reported within AOCI were $49.5 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $13.6 million, and the weighted-average life on these securities was 8.7 years. At December 31, 2022, the net unrealized losses on the transferred securities reported within AOCI were $52.2 million, net of a deferred tax asset of $14.3 million.

At June 30, 2023, the reported value of Company's total investments portfolio was $1.2 billion, a decrease of $47.5 million, or 3.8%, since December 31, 2022. This was driven by changes within our debt securities portfolio, including:

•Paydowns, calls and maturities of $51.3 million;

•A net increase in the fair value of the AFS debt securities portfolio of $1.3 million due to interest rate movements during the quarter.

•An increase of $1.9 million in FHLBB common stock due to increased borrowing levels during the first half of 2023.

•At June 30, 2023, the Company wrote-off a $1.8 million Signature Bank corporate bond as Signature Bank failed during the first quarter of 2023.

Our AFS debt securities portfolio, which comprised 54% and 55% of our investment portfolio at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was carried at fair value using Level 2 valuation techniques. Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details on the Company's fair value techniques. Our HTM debt securities portfolio comprised 44% and 43% of our investment portfolio at June 30, 2023 and at December 31, 2022.

The book value of our debt securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $1.3 billion. Our debt securities portfolio has limited credit risk due to its composition, which includes securities backed by the U.S. government and government-sponsored agencies, and highly rated corporate and municipal bonds by nationally recognized rating agencies. The following table provides the make-up of the Company's investment portfolio as of June 30, 2023, based on the book value of each security type as a percentage of total book value of the Company's debt securities:

(Dollars in thousands) June 30, 2023 Percentage of Total
MBS - Agency-backed $ 880,591 68 %
CMO - Agency-backed 254,540 20 %
Municipal 105,230 8 %
Corporate 44,657 3 %
Other - Agency-backed 7,525 1 %
Total $ 1,292,543 100 %

We continually monitor and evaluate our investment portfolio to identify and assess risks within our portfolio, including but not limited to, the impact of the current interest rate environment and the related prepayment risk, and the review of credit ratings. The overall mix of debt securities at June 30, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022, remains relatively unchanged and the Company expects it will continue to be well positioned to provide a stable source of cash flow. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the duration of our debt investment securities portfolio, adjusting for calls when appropriate and consensus prepayment speeds, was 5.7 years and 5.8 years, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2023, we wrote-off a $1.8 million corporate bond issued by Signature Bank due to Signature Bank's failure during the first quarter. This corporate bond was designated as HTM and previously carried no ACL. We completed a review of our HTM and AFS investment portfolio as of June 30, 2023, and concluded that no ACL was warranted on any of the remaining bonds at this time. The fair value and book value of the Company's corporate bonds and municipal securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was as follows:

June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
(Dollars in thousands) Fair Value Book Value Net Unrealized (Loss) Gain Fair Value Book Value Net Unrealized Loss
Corporate bonds $ 40,358 $ 44,657 $ (4,299) $ 44,012 $ 46,350 $ (2,338)
Municipal bonds 104,954 105,230 (276) 104,025 105,656 (1,229)
Total $ 145,312 $ 149,887 $ (4,575) $ 148,037 $ 152,006 $ (3,567)

At June 30, 2023, corporate bonds were approximately 3% of the book value of the total bond portfolio. At June 30, 2023, corporate bonds with a book value of $35.1 million, or 79% of the corporate bond portfolio, carried an investment-grade credit rating and the remaining $9.5 million of book value, or 21% of the corporate bond portfolio, were non-rated corporate bonds of community banks within our markets. As of June 30, 2023, the corporate bond portfolio was made up of 20 different companies, which included 18 different banks. The banks in the portfolio range from the largest U.S. banks to community banks, with 38% of our exposure as of June 30, 2023, being to global systemically important banks, or "G-SIBs." Since March 31, 2023, a limited number of the rated corporate bonds in the portfolio have been downgraded as a result of stress in the banking system, although all remain investment-grade. We will continue to monitor this portfolio.

At June 30, 2023, municipal bonds were approximately 8% of the book value of the total bond portfolio. At June 30, 2023, all municipal bonds carried an investment-grade credit rating.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not carry an ACL on any of its corporate or municipal bonds.

Our other investments on the consolidated statements of condition consist of FHLBB and FRB common stock. These investments are carried at cost. We are required to maintain a certain level of investment in FHLBB stock based on our level of FHLBB advances, and maintain a certain level of investment in FRB common stock based on the Bank's capital levels. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our investment in FHLBB stock totaled $9.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and our investment in FRB stock was $5.4 million at each date.

Our investments in mutual funds are designated as trading securities and carried at fair value. These investments are held within a rabbi trust and will be used for future payments associated with the Company’s Executive and Director Deferred Compensation Plan. These investments are carried at fair value using Level 1 valuation techniques. Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details on fair value.

For the first six months of 2023, the Company held 60% of its funded residential mortgage production, which decreased from 79% in the same period of 2022. The Company anticipates over the next several quarters it will continue to sell more residential mortgage production as a percentage of total production in comparison to more recent periods in order to manage the Company's balance sheet in the current interest rate environment.

At June 30, 2023, the non-residential building operators' industry (operators of commercial and industrial buildings, retail establishments, theaters, banks and insurance buildings) and lessors of residential buildings industry (lessors of buildings used as residences, such as single-family homes, apartments and town houses) concentrations were 32% and 26%, respectively, of our total commercial real estate portfolio and 13% and 11% of total loans. At December 31, 2022, the non-residential building operators' industry and lessors of residential buildings industry concentrations were 34% and 28%, respectively, of our total commercial real estate portfolio and 14% and 11% of total loans. At June 30, 2023, there were no other industry concentrations within our loan portfolio that exceeded 10% of total loans.

During the first six months of 2023, the banking industry faced a heightened focus on commercial real estate and the office space sector specifically given the increase in vacant properties. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's commercial portfolio, including commercial real estate and commercial loans, totaled $2.1 billion, of which office space totaled $204.7 million, or 5% of total loans and 20% of the commercial real estate investment portfolio. The Company's office space loans as of June 30, 2023, were located in its primary markets — Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was not aware of any troubled credits within its commercial real estate office space loan portfolio and none of these loans were non-performing or 30-89 days past due.

Asset Quality

Our practice is to manage the Company's loan portfolio proactively so that we are able to effectively identify problem credits and trends early, assess and implement effective work-out strategies, and take charge-offs as promptly as practical. In addition, the Company continually reassesses its underwriting standards in response to credit risk posed by changes in economic conditions. The Company continues to dedicate significant resources to monitor and manage credit risk throughout our loan portfolio and includes management and board-level oversight as follows:

•The Credit Risk and Special Assets team and the Credit Risk Policy Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Risk, and Commercial and Retail Banking, oversee the Company's systems and procedures to monitor the credit quality of its loan portfolio, conduct a loan review program, and maintain the integrity of the loan ratings system.

•The adequacy of the ACL is overseen by the Management Provision Committee, which is an internal management committee comprised of various Company executives and senior managers across business lines, including Accounting and Finance, Credit Underwriting, Credit Risk and Special Assets, Compliance, and Commercial and Retail Banking. The Management Provision Committee supports the oversight efforts of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

•The Directors Credit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews large credit exposures, monitors external loan review reports, reviews the lending authority for individual loan officers when required, and has approval authority and responsibility for all matters regarding the loan policy and other credit-related policies, including reviewing and monitoring asset quality trends, and concentration levels.

•The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has approval authority and oversight responsibility for the ACL adequacy and methodology.

Potential Problem Loans. Potential problem loans consist of classified accruing commercial and commercial real estate loans that were 30-89 days past due. Such loans are characterized by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the credit quality of some of these loans may improve due to changes in collateral values or the financial condition of the borrowers, while the credit quality of other loans may deteriorate, resulting in a loss. These loans are not included in the above analysis of non-accrual loans. At June 30, 2023, there were no loans classified as potential problem loans.

ACL on Loans. There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on loans during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The significant key assumptions used with the ACL on loans calculation at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, included: (i) Company-specific macroeconomic factors (i.e., loss drivers), (ii) our forecast period and reversion speed, (iii) prepayment speeds, and (iv) various qualitative factors.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the recorded ACL on loans was $37.0 million, or 0.90% to total loans, and $36.9 million, or 0.92% of total loans, respectively, and represented our best estimate. The increase in the ACL balance between periods was driven loan growth of 3% during the first half of 2023 and our forecasted macroeconomic outlook, which incorporates the ongoing risk of a potential downturn over the next 12 to 24 months.

The overall global and national markets continue to be volatile and carry a high degree of uncertainty, and any changes to our forecast or qualitative factors subject our ACL estimate to a higher risk of fluctuation between periods.

We may adjust our assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period to period. A future change of our assumptions likely will alter the level of allowance required and may have a material impact on future results of operations and financial condition. The ACL on loans is reviewed periodically within a calendar quarter to assess trends in CECL key assumptions and asset quality, and their effects on the Company's financial condition.

ACL on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. There were no significant changes in our modeling methodology to determine the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The model uses the credit loss factors for each segment calculated within the ACL on loans model described above. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $2.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively.

The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures was presented within accrued interest and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. Increases (decreases) to the ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures were presented within provision (credit) for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.

We may adjust our assumptions to account for differences between expected and actual losses from period to period. A future change to our assumptions will likely alter the level of allowance required and may have a material impact on future results of operations and financial condition.

ACL on HTM Securities. Each quarter the Company evaluates its investment portfolio for potential credit risk, and, in the first quarter of 2023, the Company fully wrote-off one $1.8 million corporate bond issued by Signature Bank that was designated as HTM. Through our evaluation of our HTM debt securities there were no other credit concerns identified within our investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was no ACL recorded on HTM investments. Refer to "—Investments" and Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Liabilities

Deposits. At June 30, 2023, deposits totaled $4.7 billion, a decrease of $133.2 million, or 3%, since December 31, 2022. The interest rate environment for the first half of 2023 has created a highly competitive landscape for deposits across our markets as depositors looked to deploy excess liquidity into higher yielding, interest-bearing deposit accounts and the recent turmoil in the banking industry, which included the failure of three larger, regional banks during the first of 2023, put an increased focused on bank liquidity. We have and continue to manage deposits closely with a focus on maintaining and enhancing existing depositor relationships and developing new ones, while balancing the Company's overall funding cost and liquidity position. Another factor impacting deposits through the first half of 2023 was the decrease in average consumer deposit balances, primarily checking and savings accounts, which, in part, was likely due to depositors redeploying excess liquidity given the current interest rate environment as described above, but also likely reflects the shift in the overall financial position of the consumer as average checking and savings account deposit balances from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 through mid-year 2022 steadily increased before reaching its peak. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's average consumer checking and savings account deposit balances have decreased 13%, compared June 30, 2022, but still remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic.

The decrease in deposits through the first half of 2023 was primarily within checking and savings account balances, which were down $263.2 million, or 9%, and $83.9 million, or 11%, respectively. The Company was primarily able to attract new deposits and retain existing deposits through its higher yielding, interesting-bearing deposit accounts. Additionally, the Company leveraged the brokered deposits market to lock-in certain funding during the first six months of 2023 when it proved cost advantageous to other funding sources. For the first half of 2023, CD balances grew $148.8 million, or 50%, money market deposit balances grew $22.1 million, or 3%, and brokered deposit balances grew $43.0 million, or 24%. The Company has used a mix of deposit product offerings to attract new deposits and retain existing deposits throughout the first half of 2023.

The Company's loan-to-deposit ratio was 87% at June 30, 2023, compared to 83% at December 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had no customer relationships that exceeded 10% of total deposits.

Uninsured and Uncollateralized Deposits. Total deposits that exceeded the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000 was $1.1 billion, or 24% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2023, and $1.4 billion, or 29% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022.

Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits that exceeded the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000 and were not secured by pledged assets or any other guarantee of the Company totaled $699.1 million, or 15% of total deposits, as of June 30, 2023 and $745.9 million, or 16% of total deposits, as of December 31, 2022.

The portion of CDs that exceeded the FDIC deposit insurance limit of $250,000 was $79.9 million, or 18% of CD balances, as of June 30, 2023, and $62.5 million, or 21% of CD balances, as of December 31, 2022.

Borrowings. At June 30, 2023, total borrowings were $492.5 million, an increase of $183.0 million, or 59%, since December 31, 2022. The increase reflects the need for additional funding to support asset growth of 1% and a decrease in deposits of 3% during the first half of 2023. Included in total borrowings at June 30, 2023, was $135.0 million from the BTFP, for a period of one year at a fixed rate of 4.70%. Under the program, the Company may prepay this borrowing at any time without penalty and the borrowing is secured by the Company's investment securities at par. The Company utilized the BTFP to manage borrowing costs while obtaining favorable prepayment terms. Short-term FHLBB advances increased $20.0 million during the second quarter of 2023 to $120.0 million at June 30, 2023.

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2023, totaled $467.4 million, an increase of $16.1 million, or 4%, since December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by net income of $25.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, net of regular quarterly cash dividends of $12.3 million, and an increase to AOCI of $4.0 million driven by a decrease in long-term interest rates between periods resulting in an improvement in valuation of the AFS bond portfolio.

On June 30, 2023, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.42 per share, payable on July 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of July 14, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's annualized dividend yield was 5.42% based on Camden National's closing share price of $30.97, as reported by NASDAQ on June 30, 2023.

In January 2023, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, representing approximately 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 65,692 shares at a weighted average price of $30.44.

LIQUIDITY

Our liquidity needs require the availability of cash to meet the withdrawal demands of depositors and credit commitments to borrowers. Liquidity is defined as our ability to maintain availability of funds to meet customer needs, as well as to support our asset base. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. Due to the potential for unexpected fluctuations in both deposits and loans, active management of liquidity is necessary. We maintain various sources of funding and levels of liquid assets and monitor liquidity in accordance with internal guidelines and all applicable regulatory requirements. Sources of funds that we utilize consist of deposits; borrowings from the FHLBB and other sources; cash flows from loans and investments; and cash flows from operations, including other contractual obligations and commitments.

During the first six months of 2023, the banking industry experienced three high-profile bank failures, which led to an industry-wide increase in concerns related to liquidity, deposit outflows and eroding customer confidence in the banking system. Despite these developments and related recent volatility in the banking industry, our liquidity position continued to exceed our target levels and we believe we currently have appropriate liquidity available to respond to demands.

As of June 30, 2023, our primary liquidity sources available were as follows:

(In thousands) Amount
Available primary liquidity:
Excess cash1 $ 28,276
Unpledged investment securities 522,306
Over collateralized securities pledging position 58,013
FHLBB 672,134
Fed Discount Window 41,950
BTFP 29,757
Unsecured borrowing lines 69,872
Total available primary liquidity $ 1,422,308

(1)     Excess Cash represents cash held at the FRB that is above the minimum reserve requirement. At June 30, 2023 the minimum reserve requirement remains at zero.

Total available primary liquidity of $1.4 billion was 2.0 times uninsured and uncollateralized deposits as of June 30, 2023. Refer to "—Financial Condition—Liabilities—Uninsured and Uncollateralized Deposits" for further details.

In addition to the available primarily liquidity noted above, as of June 30, 2023, we may access additional funding through brokered deposits.

Although we believe that our level of liquidity is sufficient to meet current and future funding requirements, changes in current economic conditions, including consumer saving habits and the availability or access to the brokered deposit and wholesale repurchase markets, could significantly affect our liquidity position.

Deposits. Deposits continue to represent our primary source of funds. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, total deposits, including brokered deposits, were $4.7 billion, which included money market deposits of $61.0 million and $73.5 million, respectively, from Camden National Wealth Management, a division of the Bank, which represent client funds. These funds fluctuate with changes in the portfolios of the clients of Camden National Wealth Management. Time deposits are generally considered to be more interest rate sensitive than other deposits and, therefore, more likely to be withdrawn to obtain higher yields elsewhere if available.

The following is a summary of the scheduled maturities of CDs (not including brokered CDs) as of June 30, 2023:

(In thousands) CDs
1 year or less $ 373,619
> 1 year 75,646
Total $ 449,265

Brokered deposits totaled $224.3 million at June 30, 2023, and consisted of $163.4 million of brokered CDs and $60.8 million of brokered money market accounts. As of June 30, 2023, all brokered CDs are schedule to mature within the next 12 months. At June 30, 2023, we also have access to additional brokered deposits.

Borrowings. Borrowings are used to supplement deposits as a source of liquidity, which may include borrowings and advances from the FHLBB, federal funds and repurchase agreements. As of June 30, 2023, total borrowings were $492.5 million, compared to $309.5 million as of December 31, 2022. We secure borrowings from the FHLBB with qualified residential real estate loans, certain investment securities and certain other assets available to be pledged. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $672.1 million in this borrowing capacity from the FHLBB. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company borrowed $135.0 million from the BTFP for a period of one year at a fixed rate of 4.70%. Under the program, the Company may prepay this borrowing at any time without penalty and the borrowing is secured by the Company's investment securities at par. The Company utilized the BTFP to manage borrowing costs while obtaining favorable prepayment terms. Customer repurchase agreements are secured by mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored enterprises. Through the Bank, we have available lines of credit with the FHLBB of $9.9 million, with correspondent banks of $50.0 million and $10.0 million, and with the FRB Discount Window of $42.0 million as of June 30, 2023. We also have access to the brokered deposit market and wholesale reverse repurchase transactions market. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan.

The following is a summary of the scheduled maturities of borrowings as of June 30, 2023:

(In thousands) FHLBB Advances BTFP Customer Repurchase Agreements Junior Subordinated Debentures Total
1 year or less $ 120,000 $ 135,000 $ 193,182 $ — $ 448,182

Total $ 120,000 $ 135,000 $ 193,182 $ 44,331 $ 492,513

Loans. Contractual loan repayments also affect our liquidity position. Actual speed and timing of repayment may differ materially from contract terms due to prepayments or nonpayment.

The Company's unpledged residential mortgage loan portfolio is also a source of contingent liquidity as it could be sold in a reasonable time period, at fair value, on the secondary market. As of June 30, 2023, qualifying residential mortgage loans with a book value of $1.7 billion were pledged as collateral to the FHLBB.

The following table presents the contractual maturities of loans at the date indicated:

(2)    Commercial real estate loans includes non-owner-occupied and owner-occupied properties.

Additionally, we have active relationships with various secondary market investors that purchase residential mortgage loans we originate. In addition to managing our interest rate risk position and earnings through the sale of these loans, we are also able to manage our liquidity position through timely sales of residential mortgage loans to the secondary market.

Investments. We generally invest in amortizing MBS and CMO debt securities that return cash flow at an accelerated rate in comparison to other types of debt securities that are of a bullet structure. MBS and CMO debt security cash flow will vary

depending on the interest rate environment because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without

prepayment penalties. The rise in interest rates during 2022 and the first six months of 2023 resulted in slowing cash flows. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's MBS and CMO debt securities portfolio totaled 88% of book value for both periods, respectively, of the Company's investment portfolio.

The Company's unpledged AFS investment portfolio is also a source of contingent liquidity as it could be sold in a reasonable time period, at fair value, on the secondary market, which was $365.6 million at June 30, 2023.

The following is a summary of the scheduled cash flows from our debt securities portfolio, including investments designated as AFS and HTM, as of June 30, 2023:

(In thousands) Contractual<br><br>Cash Flows(1)
1 year or less $ 98,668
> 1 year 1,094,121
Total $ 1,192,789

(1)    Expected contractual cash flows could differ as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Other Liquidity Requirements. The Company generates cash flows from earnings through its normal course of business from earnings and, although not contractual, the Company has a history of paying a quarterly cash dividend to its shareholders and repurchasing its shares of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported net income of $25.1 million and paid cash dividends of $12.3 million to shareholders.

Also through its normal operations, the Company is party to several other contractual obligations not previously discussed, such as various lease agreements on a number of its branches. Renewal options within the various lease contracts, as applicable, were considered to determine the lease term and estimate the contractual obligation and commitment for the Company's operating and finance leases. Furthermore, certain lease contracts of the Company contain language that subject its rent payment to variability, such as those tied to an index or change in an index. As a result, the future contractual obligation and commitment may materially differ from that estimated and disclosed within the table below. At June 30, 2023, we had the following lease and other contractual obligations to make future payments under each of these contracts as follows:

(In thousands) Total Amount Payments Due per Period
Contractual obligations and commitments Committed 1 Year or Less > 1 Year
Operating leases $ 12,797 $ 1,343 $ 11,454
Finance leases 6,966 313 6,653
Other contractual obligations 6,390 6,390 —
Total $ 26,153 $ 8,046 $ 18,107

The Company's estimated lease liability for its various operating and finance leases was reported within other liabilities on our consolidated statements of condition.

In the normal course of business, we are a party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, which are not reflected in the consolidated statements of condition. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon, and thus, the total amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Refer to Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements for additional details.

We use derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes (primarily interest rate risk) and not for trading or speculative purposes. These contracts with our various counterparties may subject the Company to various cash flow requirements, which may include posting of cash as collateral (or other assets) for arrangements that the Company is in a liability position (i.e. “underwater”). Refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our derivatives and hedge instruments.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

As part of our goal to operate a safe, sound and profitable financial organization, we are committed to maintaining a strong capital base. Shareholders’ equity totaled $467.4 million and $451.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which amounted to 8% of total assets for both periods. Refer to "—Financial Condition—Shareholders' Equity" for further discussion on shareholders' equity for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Our principal cash requirement is the payment of dividends on our common stock, as and when declared by the Company's Board of Directors. We declared dividends to shareholders in the aggregate amount of $12.3 million and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company's Board of Directors approves cash dividends on a quarterly basis after careful analysis and consideration of various factors, including the following: (i) capital position relative to total assets, (ii) risk-based assets, (iii) total classified assets, (iv) economic conditions, (v) growth rates for total assets and total liabilities, (vi) earnings performance and projections and (vii) strategic initiatives and related capital requirements. All dividends declared and distributed by the Company will be in compliance with applicable state corporate law and regulatory requirements.

We are primarily dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by the Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary, to service our commitments. We, as the sole shareholder of the Bank, are entitled to dividends, when and as declared by the Bank's Board of Directors from legally available funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Bank declared dividends payable to the Company in the amount of $12.4 million and $16.3 million, respectively. Under regulations prescribed by the OCC, the Bank may not declare dividends in excess of the Bank’s net income for the current year plus its retained net income for the prior two years without prior approval from the OCC. If we are required to use dividends from the Bank to service unforeseen commitments in the future, we may be required to reduce the dividends paid to our shareholders going forward.

Please refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements for discussion and details of the Company and Bank's regulatory capital requirements. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company and Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements, and the Bank continues to meet the capital requirements to be classified as "well capitalized" under applicable prompt corrective action provisions.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s Board of Directors and management have identified significant risk categories which affect the Company. The risk categories include: credit; liquidity; market; interest rate; capital; operational and technology, including cybersecurity; vendor and third party; people and compensation; compliance and legal; strategic alignment; and reputation. The Board of Directors has approved an Enterprise Risk Management ("ERM") Policy that addresses each category of risk. The direct oversight and responsibility for the Company's risk management program has been delegated to the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Risk Officer, who is a member of the Executive Committee and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

There have been no material changes to the Company's risk categories and risk management policies as described in Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Please refer to Item 7 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for further details regarding the Company's risk management.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with our financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income, the primary component of our earnings. Board ALCO and Management ALCO utilize the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While Board ALCO and Management ALCO routinely monitor simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, they also utilize additional tools to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our consolidated statements of condition, as well as for derivative financial instruments. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one- and two-year horizon, assuming a static balance sheet, given a 200 basis point upward and downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. Using this approach, we are able to produce simulation results that illustrate the effect that both a gradual change of rates and a

“rate shock” have on earnings expectations. In the down 200 and 200 basis points scenarios, Federal Funds and Treasury yields are floored at 0.01% while Prime is floored at 3.00%. All other market rates are floored at the lesser of current levels or 0.25%.

The sensitivity analysis below does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including, among others, the nature and timing of interest rate levels, yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, our net interest income sensitivity analysis reflected the following changes to net interest income, as compared to our modeled Year 1 Base net interest income, assuming no balance sheet growth and a parallel shift in interest rates. All rate changes were “ramped” over the first 12-month period and then maintained at those levels over the remainder of the ALCO simulation horizon.

Estimated Changes In <br>Net Interest Income
Rate Change from Year 1 — Base June 30,<br>2023 June 30,<br>2022
Year 1
+200 basis points (1.01) % (2.43) %
-200 basis points 2.32 % 0.19 %
Year 2
+200 basis points 16.57 % 6.05 %
-200 basis points 14.91 % (2.33) %

If rates remain at or near current levels, net interest income is projected to increase in year two of the simulation. Asset cash flows reprice and replace into the current higher rate environment at rates above current portfolio averages more than offsetting the pressure from funding costs replacing into higher rates, causing balance sheet spread to expand.

If rates increase 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to decrease slightly in the first year of the simulation as the funding base adjusts into the higher rate environment to a greater degree than asset yields increase. In the second year, net interest income is projected to increase as loan and investment yields continue to reprice/reset into higher yields and funding cost increases slow.

If rates decrease 200 basis points, net interest income is projected to increase slightly in the first year of the simulation as reductions in funding costs are able to more than offset near-term asset yield deterioration. In the second year, net interest income is projected to increase, however to a lesser degree than the up 200 basis points scenario discussed above, as asset yields are supported by fixed rates and floors while cost of funds reductions continue at a slowing pace and begin to reach assumed floors.

In addition to using our investments portfolio to manage liquidity risk, we also use it to manage our interest rate risk and provide a natural hedge to our interest risk exposure created by loans, deposits and borrowings. Refer to "—Financial Condition—Investments" for further details of the Company's investment portfolio, including the duration of the bond portfolio as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Periodically, if deemed appropriate, we use back-to-back loan swaps, interest rate swaps, floors and caps, which are common derivative financial instruments, to hedge our interest rate risk position. The Board of Directors has approved hedging policy statements governing the use of these instruments. The Board and Management ALCO monitor derivative activities relative to their expectations and our hedging policies. Refer Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these derivative instruments.

LIBOR was a benchmark interest rate for certain floating rate loans, deposits and borrowings, and off-balance sheet exposures of the Company. The publication of all U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings ceased to be provided or ceased to be representative as of July 2, 2023. The Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”), and its implementing regulations, were finalized in December 2022. The LIBOR Act and its implementing regulations established a process for replacing LIBOR on existing LIBOR contracts that did not provide for the use of a clearly defined or practicable replacement

benchmark rate with a benchmark replacement based on SOFR. The Company no longer offers new contracts that reference LIBOR and all legacy contracts that were indexed to U.S. Dollar LIBOR have been transitioned to SOFR-based or other alternative reference rates in accordance with the fallback provisions of the LIBOR Act.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Information required by this Item 3 is included in Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Risk Management" and such information is incorporated into this Item 3 by reference.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company’s management conducted an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer & Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the last fiscal year. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company and its management recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer & Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that they believe the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We intend to continue to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes to the disclosure controls and procedures to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to pending and threatened legal actions. Although the Company is not able to predict the outcome of such actions, after reviewing pending and threatened actions with counsel, management believes that based on the information currently available the outcome of such actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position as a whole.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

There are a number of factors that may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial results or stock price. Refer to “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for discussion of these risks.

Exhibit 4.1

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

A brief summary of the material terms of our capital stock is set forth below. The description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) that are filed as exhibits to the Form 10-K of which this Exhibit is a part. The following description of our capital stock and provisions of our Articles and Bylaws is only a summary of such provisions and instruments, and does not purport to be complete. As used in this Exhibit, the terms “Camden National Corporation,” “Camden,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar references refer only to Camden National Corporation and not to any of its subsidiaries.

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, without par value (the “common stock”). The number of authorized shares of our common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of a majority of our stock entitled to vote. At this time, we are not authorized under the terms of our Articles to issue any class or series of preferred stock, and we have no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

Common Stock

The following is a description of the material terms and provisions of our common stock. See the Articles and Bylaws for a more complete description of the terms of our common stock.

Issuance of Common Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of common stock without shareholder approval. However, the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, which requires shareholder approval of the issuance of additional shares of common stock under certain circumstances.

Dividends

Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock, holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available for distribution, if and when they are authorized and declared by our board of directors, in such amounts as our board of directors may determine.

Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock:

•depends primarily upon the ability of our subsidiary, Camden National Bank, to pay dividends or otherwise transfer funds to us; and

•is subject to policies established by our banking regulators (see “Item 1. Business - Supervision and Regulation” of the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K for a more detailed description of limitations on our ability to pay dividends).

Liquidation Rights

In the event we are liquidated, dissolved or our affairs are wound up, after we pay or make adequate provision for all of our known debts and liabilities, each holder of common stock will receive dividends pro rata out of assets that we can legally use to pay distributions, subject to any rights that are granted to the holders of any class or series of preferred stock.

Preemptive, Redemption, and Conversion Rights

The holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive rights. There are no subscription, redemption, conversion or sinking fund provisions with respect to our common stock.

Exhibit 4.1

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise required by law and except as provided by the terms of any other class or series of stock, holders of common stock have the exclusive power to vote on all matters presented to our stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share.

Generally, matters to be voted on by our stockholders must be approved by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders in which a quorum is present, including the election of directors in an uncontested election, subject to state law and any voting rights granted to any holders of preferred stock. In any meeting in which directors are to be elected, however, if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast.

Other Rights

Subject to the preferential rights of any other class or series of stock, all shares of common stock have equal dividend, distribution, liquidation and other rights, and have no preference, appraisal or exchange rights, except for any appraisal rights provided by Maine law. Holders of common stock have no conversion, sinking fund or redemption rights, or preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain provisions of our Articles and Bylaws, and certain provisions of Maine law applicable to our business, may discourage or make more difficult a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest. These provisions may also adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. We believe that the benefits of increased protection give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us and outweigh the disadvantage of discouraging those proposals.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our Bylaws require that shareholders provide the Company’s Secretary notice not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting for the purpose of nominating any director candidate. If the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days before or delayed by more than 60 days after the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice will be timely if it is delivered not earlier than 120 days before and not later than 90 days before the annual meeting or 10 days after public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made.

Maine Business Corporation Act

As a Maine corporation, we are subject to the Maine Business Corporation Act (the “Act”), certain provisions of which may have an anti-takeover effect.

Section 702 of the Act

Section 702 of the Act provides that special meetings of shareholders may be called only (i) by a majority of the board of directors, (ii) by the person or persons authorized to do so by the Articles or Bylaws, or (iii) by the holders of at least 10% of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting. Under the Act, we are permitted to amend our Articles to fix a lower percentage, or a higher percentage not exceeding 25% of all the votes entitled to vote on any issue proposed to be considered, of the requisite holders to call a special meeting.

Section 1109 of the Act

Section 1109 of the Act is an antitakeover law that generally prohibits us from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested shareholder” for a period of five years after the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested shareholder, unless either (1) the business combination is approved by our board of directors prior to that person becoming an interested shareholder or (2) subsequent to the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested shareholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized by the holders of a majority of our

Exhibit 4.1

outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder or any affiliate or associate of the interested shareholder or by persons who are either directors or officers and also employees of the Company.

An “interested shareholder” is any person, firm or entity that is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of 25% or more of our outstanding voting stock, other than by reason of a revocable proxy given in response to a proxy solicitation conducted in accordance with the Exchange Act which is not then reportable on a Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act.

We may at any time amend our Articles or Bylaws, by vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of our voting stock, to elect not to be governed by Section 1109.

Section 1110 of the Act

Section 1110 of the Act generally provides our shareholders with the right to demand payment from a person or group of persons which become a “controlling person” of an amount equal to the fair value of each voting share in the Company held by the shareholder. A “controlling person” generally is defined to mean an individual, firm or entity (or group thereof) that has voting power over at least 25% of our outstanding voting shares. Such a demand must be submitted to the controlling person within 30 days after the controlling person provides required notice to our shareholders of the acquisition or transactions which resulted in such person or group becoming a controlling person.

This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Award has vested as provided in Section 2 of this Award Agreement and (ii) shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Program and this Award Agreement.

2.Vesting of Performance Share Units. The Award shall vest on the Vesting Date so long as the Grantee remains an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such Vesting Date; provided, however, that the Award vests only if and to the extent that the pre-established three-year performance targets are achieved as outlined in the Program and set forth on Exhibit A to this Award Agreement. If such date is not a trading date, the Vesting Date shall be the trading date immediately prior to such date.

3.Issuance of Shares of Stock. As soon as practicable following the Committee’s certification of performance with respect to the Long-Term Performance Period as described in the Program (but in no event later than two and one half months after the Committee’s certification), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock based on the level of achievement of the applicable performance measures as contemplated pursuant to Section 2 of this Award Agreement. On such date and thereafter, the Grantee shall have all the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to such shares.

4.Effect of Termination of Service.

(a)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions as set forth in Section 2 for any reason, the Award will be forfeited upon such termination of the Grantee’s Service, except as provided in Section 4(b).

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates on account of the Grantee’s Retirement, the Grantee’s Award shall be treated in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Program.

(ii)If the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates on account of the Grantee’s death or Disability, the Grantee’s Award shall be treated in accordance with Section 7.3 of the Program.

By entering into this Award Agreement, the Grantee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Grantee may have with respect to the Relevant Information, subject to applicable law; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate.

Unless otherwise elected by the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and approved by the Committee, subject to the Company’s insider trading policy, as in effect from time to time, the Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied in full by the Company withholding from the vested Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

(d)Section 409A of the Code. This Award is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and this Award Agreement shall be interpreted and construed consistent with that intent to the maximum extent permissible.

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT UNDER THE CAMDEN NATIONAL CORPORATION 2022 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN

Name of Grantee:
No. of Shares:
Grant Date:

Pursuant to the Camden National Corporation 2022 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), Camden National Corporation (the “Company”) hereby grants a Restricted Stock Award (an “Award”) to the grantee named above (the “Grantee”). Capitalized terms in this Award Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

1.Acceptance of Award. The Grantee shall have no rights with respect to this Award unless the Grantee shall have accepted this Award by signing and delivering to the Company a copy of this Award Agreement.

2.Rights of Stockholder, Voting, Dividends. Upon the issuance of the shares of Restricted Stock hereunder, the Grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting the shares of Restricted Stock and during the period of restriction, all ordinary cash dividends or other ordinary distributions paid upon the Restricted Stock will be retained by the Company and will be paid to the Grantee (without interest) when the Restricted Stock vests and will revert back to the Company if for any reason the Restricted Stock, upon which such dividends or other distributions were paid, reverts back to the Company.

3.Vesting of Restricted Stock. The restrictions and conditions in this Award Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule, subject to the Grantee’s continued Service through such Date, except as provided in Section 4(b). If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and conditions shall lapse only with respect to the incremental number of shares of Restricted Stock specified as vested on such date. If such date is not a trading date, the Vesting Date shall be the trading date immediately prior to such date.

Incremental Number (Cumulative Number)<br>of Shares of Restricted Stock Vested Vesting Date
[●] [DATE]
[●] [DATE]
[●] [DATE]

Subsequent to such Vesting Date or Dates, the shares of Stock on which all restrictions and conditions have lapsed shall no longer be deemed Restricted Stock.

4.Effect of Termination of Service.

(a)Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock will be forfeited upon any termination of the Grantee’s Service, except as provided in Section 4(b).

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i)Death or Disability. Any unvested shares of Restricted Stock shall be accelerated and become fully vested upon a termination of Grantee’s Service due to death or Disability.

A.“Disability” shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Grantee’s written employment agreement (or other similar written agreement) with the Company or a Subsidiary. In the absence of such a definition, “Disability” means any mental or physical condition with respect to which the Grantee qualified for and receives benefits under a long-term disability plan of the Company or Subsidiary, or in the absence of such a long-term disability plan or coverage under such plan, “Disability” shall mean a physical or mental

condition which, in the sole discretion of the Committee, is reasonably expected to be of indefinite duration and to substantially prevent the Grantee from fulfilling the Grantee’s duties or responsibilities to the Company or a Subsidiary. If an Award is determined to be subject to Code Section 409A, then notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, “Disability” or “Disabled” shall mean that the Grantee: (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering the Company’s Employees, or (iii) is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. Except to the extent prohibited under Code Section 409A, if applicable, the Committee shall have discretion to determine if a termination of Service due to Disability has occurred.

(ii)Change of Control. If Grantee’s Service is terminated by the Company or any successor entity thereto without Cause, or Grantee resigns Grantee’s Service for Good Reason, in either case, on or within two (2) years after a Change of Control, (1) any unvested shares of Restricted Stock will become fully vested (including the lapsing of all restrictions and conditions) and (2) any shares of Stock deliverable pursuant to the Award will be delivered promptly (but no later than fifteen (15) days) following Grantee’s termination of Service.

5.Additional Provisions.

(a)Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Award Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Award Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Award Agreement, the Grantee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Grantee may have with respect to the Relevant Information, subject to applicable law; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate. The Grantee shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.

(b)Incorporation of Plan. This Award Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, a copy of which the Grantee acknowledges having received, including, but not limited to, the powers of the Committee set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan, the certificate and legends provisions set forth in Section 9 of the Plan, the Change of Control provisions set forth in Section 14 of the Plan, the tax withholding provisions set forth in Section 16 of the Plan, the nonassignability provisions set forth in Section 19(a) of the Plan, the insider trading policy provisions set forth in Section 19(c) of the Plan and the provisions regarding Code Section 409A set forth in Section 26 of the Plan.

(c)Tax Withholding. Except as expressly elected by the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the Grantee’s required minimum tax withholding obligation shall be satisfied by the Grantee’s transfer to the Company such number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

(d)Entire Agreement. This Award Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements or understandings with respect thereto.

(e)No Right to Continued Service or Future Awards. This Award Agreement does not confer upon the Grantee any rights with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or with respect to any future Awards.
